Publisher's summary

How can one find inspiration and joy in the midst of disillusion? In the fall of 2020, as the pandemic raged on and the world reeled with trauma and loss, writer Luca Mazzotti began to look for ways to replace his existential dread with a renewed zest for life. He decided to sit down and explore the random fragments of life he could depend on for emotional comfort and intellectual stimulation.

Combining introspection with investigation, recollections with analysis, and ideas with testimony, the end result was a compendium of 25 references, ideas, passions, and interests that offered him a canvas of reasons to feel alive, despite the circumstances. Unexpectedly, the project unleashed a small chain reaction as those who explored the book “followed the recipe” and made their own lists of the things that thrilled them. This audiobook is one writer’s invitation to bring fascination and inspiration into our daily lives by discovering the unique and extraordinary stories behind our favorite things.

Listen If You Want to Expand Your Horizons

I just finished this and I found it both delightful and enlightening. On one hand, it’s a deeply analytical dive into a collection of cultural touchstones. But on the other, it’s a window into what gives this particular writer’s life wonder and meaning. Mr. Mazzotti is clearly passionate and has a lot to say. I also learned quite a bit. As an artist myself, I live to learn and expand my horizons. I’m sure those who share this sentiment would also appreciate your book greatly. It may even inspire you to write your own list of favorite things.

Great combination of text, music and voices!

This book is a wonderful compilation of 25 well researched curiosities put forward by the author that feeds the senses. The voices seem to be in perfect harmony with the 25 chapters and the music can stand alone as entertainment!
